摘要：
Purpose: HGF, one of endothelium-specific growth factors, might contribute to the repair process of vascular endothelial cell damage, suggesting that serum HGF concentration may be elevated in patients with arteriosclerosis. However, the cardiac metabolism of HGF has not been examined in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined the levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the coronary circulation and its correlation with the severity of arteriosclerosis in patients with CAD.
